Lent Begins

St. Elisabeth students began observing Lent by gathering with their school families on "Fat Tuesday," or "Mardi Gras." Together they learned the meaning and three pillars of       

Lenten observance: prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

All students reflected on what they would give up for Lent and signed a "promise" or contract that was also shared with their parents. The School Family activity culminated in the creation of a poster representing what each student will sacrifice for Lent.

All students will assemble and participate in prayer and The Stations of the Cross every Friday.
